Lesson: Properties of Rhombuses Mathematics

Students will be able to

• understand the properties of rhombuses:
  • all of the sides of a rhombus have equal lengths,
  • the opposite sides of a rhombus are parallel to one another,
  • the opposite angles in a rhombus are equal in size,
  • the two diagonals of a rhombus bisect one another and are also perpendicular to one another,
  • the diagonals of a rhombus both bisect a pair of opposite angles,
• understand the relationship between parallelograms and rhombuses,
• solve problems using the properties of rhombuses.
